A sharp, minimalist Swiss three-hander from the 1970s, this AVIA stands out with its deep “velvet blue” dial and a clean no-date layout. The sculpted stainless-steel case has that unmistakable 70s profile – sleek, ergonomic, and designed to sit low and comfortable on the wrist. The watch is in excellent vintage condition. The sunburst brushed steel surfaces remain crisp and attractive, and the dial retains a strong, even blue tone with clean printing. Inside is the dependable FHF/ST 96 manual-wind movement – simple, serviceable, and built for everyday use.
